Dita Von Teese: Victoria Derby Day in Melbourne!

Dita Von Teese is red hot at the Lavazza Marquee during Victoria Derby Day on Saturday (October 29) at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia.

The 39-year-old burlesque artist wore an asymmetrical dress topped with a Philip Treacy hat.

“I am excited about going to the races, because I am sure I will never have seen anything like it,” Dita recently told the Herald Sun.

“I think it is a shame there are so few occasions where people feel free to wear something different,” she added. “I am always encouraging people to not be afraid. People love to look at you when you do something unique and different.”

FYI: Dita is wearing a dress from her Dita Von Teese Muse collection, available exclusively at David Jones in Australia starting January.
